Crumbs and Cake

[SoTorn]

I was also a terrible at interrupting. I stopped that completely. I got away from blame. Its ok to say "I". You can tell him how you feel. I did. I went from "you you you". To "I feel like this when you do XXX". Its ok to state your feelings.

My favorite comment of late is "I am sorry you feel that way" or "It must be frustrating to feel that way". My EXWW doesnt know how to react to this new me. That usually just stops her in her tracks. She may keep pushing trying to get a rise out of me, but it never works.

My EXWW just got home from her trip with OM. I have my room all packed up and ready to go June 1st. I immediately got a text from her "Are you moving out?". I let it sit for about an hour and simply responded "Yes".

So now my EXWW gets to face her consequences. A life without me, paying me, increasing her bills, being a single parent and not having me around to help along with not having the kids half the time. But I am sure this is that ultra happiness that she was looking for.
